What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve raced the Wild XC Race Tire on everything from hardpack to loose-over-hard, and it strikes the right balance—fast enough for race day but with dependable braking and cornering confidence when conditions get tricky."
For riders chasing podiums or simply wanting more speed on technical trails, the Michelin Wild XC Race 29in Tire offers lightweight performance without sacrificing traction. Inspired by Michelin’s Wild Enduro line, it features aggressive shoulder knobs for precise cornering and dependable braking bite.
The Gum-X rubber compound balances efficiency with grip, keeping rolling resistance low while maintaining confidence through roots and rock. Cross Shield 2 casing protection doubles down on durability, resisting sidewall tears and tread punctures through demanding courses. With tubeless-ready compatibility, multiple width options, and proven performance under Michelin’s professional XC athletes, this tire is a true partner for fast laps and big races.

I recommend
Overall, Michelin Wild tires provide excellent performance across all mountain biking disciplines. Whether you need the stability and traction of the Wild Enduro or the puncture protection of the Wild Rock’R2, Michelin delivers a variety of models suited to different rider needs. The only common issue some riders face is air retention or sidewall wear, but these issues are relatively minor compared to the overall performance benefits. If you’re looking for a high-quality tire that excels on tough trails and varying terrains, Michelin Wild tires are an excellent investment.

Definitely recommend
In terms of durability Michelin tires are the best on any vehicle aside from bikes. The material they use is very breathable for the road and good for all weather. Fits and protects the wheel very well and the traction is impeccable.
